I was thinking that the roads would be good on the Totem route, but I was wrong.  Super icy in stretches and almost had to walk or shuffle feet.  There were some longer stretches where I could open it up a bit.  It was nice to just be outside though.

Worked at Skinny mini today until 5, so I just decided to swing off at the AK club and run an easy 7 miles at recovery pace.  Felt good.

Kept it easy at the AK club today. After yesterday's run I knew I needed to recover, but I was suprised my body (legs) didn't feel all beat up today.

2/14
16 miles

Ran with Jerry Ross, Jim McDonugh, and Jeff Young this morning.  I was planning on just 10-12, but felt like helping Jeff with his workout so he didn't have to do it solo.  First hour was easy (7:00-7:10 pace) then we did 15 min of 6:40 pace, then 20 min. of 6:30 pace and that's when I had enough and backed off and kind of death marched the last mile.  Longest run since my marathon in October.  Ran a little harder then I was prepared for (no gu or water),  but I need to start somewhere.

2/13

I ate way too much at Bears Tooth last night and kind of felt heavy running.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 6:15 pace before school.  Looking forward to a 3 day weekend and some runs outside.
